The Expendables

The first poster for The Expendables 2 (or EX2, as it's dubbed here) has arrived, and it's a surreal thing to lay eyes on.

Explosions and gunfire act only as a border to the multi-headed beast that is this movie's cast. The poster features a veritable who's who of 1980s action movie stars including Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jean-Clause Van Damme, and Dolph Lundgren. [...]

Netflix Review: The Serpent And The Rainbow

Posted: 18 Nov 2011 03:00 PM PST

The Serpent And The Rainbow

The Serpent And The Rainbow
Netflix Streaming
DVD
Directed by Wes Craven
Written by Richard Maxwell and Adam Rodman
Based on the novel by Wade Davis
Starring Bill Pullman, Cathy Tyson, Zakes Mokae
Universal Pictures
Originally Released: February 5, 1988

After taking a look at a couple of documentaries for our Netflix review series, I concluded it was time to jump back into something a little more familiar for me: Horror. Recently added to the Netflix streaming collection, The Serpent And The Rainbow is a classic horror movie in the true sense of the word "classic" – it hearkens in the past to an age where overrated frights and intense gore was not necessarily a part of the genre [...]

These Batman Stamps Are Totally Rad

Posted: 18 Nov 2011 10:00 AM PST

Batstamps Header

They may not be "real," as defined by Webster's Dictionary, but these stamps designed by Canadian DeviantArtist koinogenki are totally awesome and should by all means exist in The United States so that I might purchase and put them in my fictional stamp collection.

They're really cool in a sort of pop art, neo deco style that mixes the style of the silver age Batman adapted to the stylish sensibility of Batman: The Animated Series. Anyway, check out the full collection of these Batman stamps below [...]

Convention Round-Up: First Annual Comikaze Expo

Posted: 18 Nov 2011 09:00 AM PST

Comikaze Expo

As a Southern California native I have been spoiled with comic and multimedia conventions. I have San Diego Comic Con to the south and Long Beach Comic Con to the north; the only thing I was missing was a convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Recently, my prayers to various Norse gods were answered in the form of Comikaze held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on November 5 and 6.

When I envision a comic, horror, anime, and gaming convention in its first year, I instantly picture 7 to 10 guys in a very poorly lit motel conference room. Comikaze definitely had its up's and down's in terms of pure geek culture you couldn't ask for something greater, but as someone who is at comic conventions year-round, there was some things left to be desired. I saw a lot of things I liked and a few things I was not so crazy about, so close your eyes (then open them) and let me take you on a journey of L.A's Comikaze [...]

The Criterion Collection February Slate: ‘World On A Wire’, ‘Tiny Furniture’

Posted: 18 Nov 2011 08:01 AM PST

Anatomy Of A Murder

So, it's the middle of the month, and cinephiles know what that means. Criterion's monthly announcement, this time, for the month of February 2012, and what a month it will be.

First, getting it out of the way, there will be one Blu-ray upgrade hitting on February 7th, and it's a monster. The combination of Chris Marker films, La Jetee and Sans Soleil will be hitting in wonderfully beautiful HD for the first time. The release itself had been hinted at recently with an image posted to Criterion's Facebook page, and will feature interviews with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin (himself a subject of an upcoming Eclipse release), and a video piece on Marker from Chris Darke, along with two bits of a French TV series, looking at the inspiration for the features [...]
